The new version of PlayStation 5, which Sony released in November 2023, is not much smaller than the original model of the console. Not everyone was happy with how small the PlayStation 5 Slim was. Not Made of Concrete Enthusiast managed to embarrass the Japanese manufacturer on how to reduce the size of consoles.

It introduced the Tiny PlayStation 5, a small, special version of the console positioned as the smallest PS5 with a removable optical drive. It is 60% smaller than the standard PS5.

It was based on the CFI 1200 version for PlayStation 5 with a reduced motherboard. It also uses a smaller M.2 SSD with a maximum length of 42mm, a modified cooling system with a Blackridge radiator, and a 120mm Noctua fan. To save space, the power supply has been replaced with a smaller 250W HD Plex model.

The disk drive is placed in a separate case so that it can be connected or removed at any time for easy transportation if necessary. Despite the smaller cooling system, the temperature of the Ryzen chip remains below 60 degrees Celsius during gaming, but the Noctua fan runs at maximum speed, so this mini version of the PlayStation 5 makes louder noise than the regular version.

Let us remind you that Sony reduced the body size by 30% and reduced the weight by 24%. On PlayStation 5 Slim. In addition to removable disk drive support, the new version of the console also includes some improvements such as a 1 TB solid state drive and two USB Type-C ports.
